Lesson Six Discussion Question:

Please respond to the following discussion,

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.

Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. While you are welcome to incorporate additional scholarly external sources you find in your initial post, you are expected to cite mainly from the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources. Please remember you are expected to cite your sources in APA format, you can review the Citation/Reference portion of the syllabus to refer to examples of APA format. In addition, you will also need to post two substantial responses (about 150-200 words) to at least two of your classmates' posts.

Consider that you are in charge of all paid search advertising through Google for your company. One of your colleagues is in charge of Instagram advertising. Your boss is in the process of putting together the marketing budget and has asked you to weigh in on how much should be allotted for Facebook advertising. He tells you that he feels that the organization’s funds would be better put toward increasing spending on Instagram as opposed to Google paid search advertisements. He says, “Pictures on Instagram are just more compelling than little blocks of text in a search engine’s results.” You couldn’t agree less with that sentiment, and you have the data to back it up.

How would you go about making the argument that Google paid search advertisements should receive more of the marketing budget compared to Instagram advertisements? What factors in your boss’s statement above are potentially not taking this into consideration?

What metrics would you use to help make your case, and how would you explain their relevance and importance?

1. Scores on the belief in UFO’s test are normally distributed with m = 40 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate greater belief in UFO’s. A sample of 24 people is forced to watch every episode of the X-Files TV show and then completes the test. The sample has a mean score of 46. Does watching the X-Files increase people’s belief in UFO’s? Use a = .01.

1a.       The hypothesis test should be...                                              (highlight one) (1 point)

                        a) one-tailed (directional)      b) two-tailed (non-directional)                       

1b. According to your answers above, conduct the hypothesis test.

Step 1:

State your hypotheses in symbols. (Be sure to label H0 and H1.)

State your hypotheses in words. (Be sure to label H0 and H1.)

Step 2: Set up the criteria for making a decision.   

Step 3: Compute the appropriate test-statistic.

According to your answers above, what is your conclusion? Does watching the X-Files increase belief in UFO’s?

            a) Yes

            b) No

1c. Based on your answer above, what type of error might you have made in your decision in Step 4?                                                                                                                            

We have 3 boxes. Box A contains 1 yellow ball and 2 red balls. Box B conatins 2 yellow balls and 2 red balls. Box C contains 2 yellow balls and 1 red ball. First, we randomly choose between Box A and Box B. Then we randomly choose a ball from the selected box and put the ball into Box C. Lastly, we randomly choose a ball from Box C.

Let E1 be the event that Box A is chosen first. Let E2 be the event that the first ball chosen is red. Let E3 be the event that the last ball chosen is red.

Find P(E2/E3)

Use HTML, CSS, jQuery and Bootstrap to do the following:

1. Add four buttons "Start", "Stop", "Back", "Reset". <button type="button">

2. Add "glyphicon-shopping-cart" to <div id="sc" style="font-size: 100px; color: blue; ">.
Use CSS in embeded style to set
<style type="text/css">
    #sc{

border-style: dotted; /* Required to animate border width */
border-color: red;
border-width: 0;
}
</style>

3. <script>

- "Start", call "animate()" function to move it to right by 300px for
each click, speed is 2000. left: "+=300px". Hint: chaining
call animate({borderBottomWidth: "0px"},500)
in css, border-bottom-with:

- "Stop", call "stop()" function stop movement, show bottom border color
in red. Hint: use "Chaining" to call stop() and
animate({borderBottomWidth: "10px"},500)

- "Back", call "animate()" function to move it to left by 300px for
each click, speed is 2000.

- "Reset", call "animate()" function to the begining positon. left: "0".
"Chaining" call.

Use the AD/AS model to illustrate what happens to United States equilibrium GDP and the price level under the following scenarios.  Also state what happens to national income and unemployment.  Illustrate only short run fluctuations in real GDP.

1.Canada, the number one destination of U.S. exports, goes into recession.

2.Energy prices rise throughout the economy.

3.Wages fall throughout the economy.

4.Congress passes a law lowering the income tax.

5.Businesses become more optimistic and raise their forecast ROI.

Include a caption! Beside or below each graph, explain why you shifted the curve.

The number 206265 can be used to convert between arcseconds (") and radians (1 radian = 2062652"). This number, however, is also the conversion between an Astronomical Unit (AU) and a parsec (pc); 1 pc = 206265 AU. Please explain in detail, with a diagram, why these numbers are the same
